    This stuff also came in tins. This one is dirty and although never been opened it is so light I suspect the powder is all evaporated or whatever it is powder does. Rare stuff too because I have only ever seen two of these tins owned by John Hine who kindly gave me this one. ::Neil::

    A collector friend of mind was kind and honored me one of these odd tins. This stuff was probably not a success as they are seldom seen.
    The attached instruction, coming in its original envelope, is in Dutch and I don't know a word of it. Stigchel was probably a retailer for Tilley in the Netherlands.
